bullet to the head in his
Buenos Aires home on Sunday, just before he was set to go before a
congressional hearing to accuse (President) Kirchner and Foreign Minister
Hector Timerman of shielding Iranian officials implicated in the 1994 bombing
of a Jewish community center that killed 85 people.”

The narrative leading up to Nisman’s demise
this past weekend is as follows:

1.In 1994 a bombing of the Argentinian Jewish
Mutual Association center in killed 85 people. The case was never solved but evidence
indicates Iranian involvement, specifically the former Iranian cultural attaché
in Mohsen Rabbani.

2.In 2013 Argentina agreed to cease investigation
of this crime and cancel all Interpol warrants for the Iranian suspects. The
investigation would be turned over to an Iranian “truth commission”.

3.The flip side of this deal was that Iran would
exchange its oil for Argentine wheat, thereby easing Argentina’s energy crisis
while boosting exports.

4.Prosecutor Nisman asserted that this murder
cover up was orchestrated by President Kirchner and through illegal
non-diplomatic back-channels.

5.Nisman was prepared to go before Argentine
lawmakers on Monday (1/26) with a detailed 300 page indictment before death changed
the plan.

For those readers of the” it-can’t-happen-here”
persuasion, let’s take a stroll 22 years down memory lane.

Vince Foster was a White House attorney and
former law partner at the Rose Law Firm with then-First Lady, Hilary Clinton
back in Little Rock. Foster had first-hand
knowledge and provided direct linkage between the Clintons and their nefarious business
dealings in that murky Arkansas backwater.
Muckraking vultures were circling
and Foster was panicked. He had drafted
his resignation note and was scheduled to tender it to President Bill Clinton on
the morning of July 21, 1993.

Conveniently for the Clintons, that meeting
never happened. Foster turned up dead,
also with a bullet in his head, in Fort Marcy Park in suburban Virginia. Foster spent the morning of July 20 at the
White House and was in attendance at a ceremony announcing Louis
Freeh as the new head of the FBI.

“The White House is the most secure private
residence in the world, equipped with a sophisticated entry control system and
video surveillance system installed by the Mitre Corporation. Yet no record
exists that Vincent Foster left the White House under his own power on July
20th, 1993. No video of him exiting the building exists. No logbook entry shows
he checked out of the White House.

Several
hours after he was last seen inside the White House, Vincent Foster was found dead
in Fort Marcy Park”.

No records or video indicate that he left work in the most
secure building in the world. To this
day, the official accounts of Foster’s death do not add up. They are are inconsistent and rife with
contradictions..

What’s the lesson here?
When collectivists accuse capitalists of “cutthroat competition” they
are speaking metaphorically. Businesses
compete via improved efficiency, price cutting, innovation and clever
marketing. Political players, on the
other hand, are the literal cutthroats.

A bit Later in his administration, when he was embroiled in
the Monica Lewinsky fiasco, Prescient Clinton launched highly publicized air
and missile strikes on a little known Islamist named Osama bin-Laden. Strangely enough, as this was happening, the
Hollywood spoof, Wag the Dog, was
hitting the theaters. The film’s premise
was that a sitting President stages a war to distract the country form his own
child-sex scandal.

…on August 20, 1998 (President Clinton) stated
that “Our forces also attacked a factory in Sudan associated with the bin Laden
[terrorist] network. The factory was involved in the production of materials
for chemical weapons.” Initially, the media accepted this statement as fact. In
an August 22nd Gallup Poll, Clinton’s action was applauded by two thirds of the
respondents.

The facts, as they gradually emerged, tell a far
different story. Key evidence for this ‘nerve gas’ accusation was a soil sample
taken in December, 1997 across an access road about 60 feet from the
factory. A private lab (why tests were not conducted in
a federal facility is unclear) concluded that this indicated the presence of a
critical component in the making of nerve gas. According to less-than-reliable
clandestine sources (the American Embassy in Khartoum was closed in January,
1996), this factory was under tight security and, thus, was not available for
personal inspection.

Scientists observed that this sample may well
have been contaminated by sloppy collection procedures. Moreover, scientists
questioned whether this component was related to any ‘nerve gas’ process.

The purported ‘nerve gas’ factory had, with
private U. S. engineering assistance, been constructed as a pharmaceutical
plant supplying about half of the Sudan’s medical needs. On August 26, 1998 a
British technician, who had been a technical supervisor in the 1992-1996
construction of this factory, said that he had gone into every corner of the
plant and that there was no ‘high security.’

This “secret plant” was officially opened by the
British ambassador. A World Health Organization inspected the plant in
December, 1997. Other recent visitors included an American delegation, which
had inspected this medical facility.

There had been serious doubts within the U. S.
government about this purported ‘nerve gas’ facility. At the State Department,
analysts in the office of Intelligence & Research published a paper that
challenged the alleged nature of this facility. Major doubts were also raised
by the head of the CIA Directorate of Operations, the CIA African division
chief, and the chief of CIA’s Counterterrorism Center. CIA “Slam Dunk” Tenet,
though he stated that the link between bin Laden and the factory could only be
drawn by inference, expressed greater certainty of the plant’s involvement with
chemical weapons.

The reality is that governments will not stop at
murder to protect and defend the interests of officeholders. The only difference is that that when the
killing is done on the group plan, we call it “defense” and “war”.

Meanwhile, back in Argentina voters are nonplussed. Fox
reports that: “Death of
prosecutor shakes faith in president, government institutions in Argentina”. The story relates how:

“Many
Argentines say the mysterious death has underscored an erosion of faith in the
country's institutions and in (Kirchner) at a time when her administration is
struggling to fight economic ills and rising street crime.

"I'm
depressed," said Manuela Luis Dia, a 54-year-old maid who supported (Kirchner)
in the last elections. "We don't know who to trust anymore."

Do ya’ think?

Maybe if anything good is to come from Mr. Nisman’s death, it will be to open
eyes as to what government is really all about.

Don’t cry for Christina Kirchner, Argentina.Pray for yourselves and for your children,
